Being overweight is risk factor for diabetes

Weighing too much can put you at risk for diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. Here's a sample from the association's at-risk weight chart, which says if you weigh this much or more, you are at risk for diabetes. It's for men and women ages 35 and older: 5-foot-6 - 167 pounds; 5-foot-7, 172 pounds, 5-foot-8, 177, 5-foot-9, 182, 5-foot-10, 188, 5-foot-11, 193, 6-foot-0, 199, 6-foot-1, 204, 6-foot-2, 210, 6-foot-3, 216.
